Adaptec 7210S Replacement Procedure

Adaptec DuraStor 7210S LUN ZONING Replacement Process

7220SS Storage Subsystem it may be necessary to exchange your controller for an
upgraded version. These enhancements are being offered as a complementary
upgrade to Adaptec customers.

check the revision of the controller card. A sticker on the middle of the board identifies
the updated controller as REV: E (see figure below).
If your DuraStor 7210S controller is version prior to REV: E, then you will be able to

Updates to DuraStor controller firmware are made available on the Adaptec support
website. The LUN Zoning feature is introduced in firmware version V100B06.
Customers with REV: E hardware can update controllers with the latest firmware on the
Adaptec support website.
